When the shower curtain blows in and sticks to your legs…

I'm guessing you have a bathroom with a window

Is why we got sliding glass doors on ours when we remodeled!

No it’s just recalcitrant

CDs with clapping on them.

I like to listen to my music while I'm reading. And then as soon as the piece (especially if it's a more quiet piece) finishes, LOUD APPLAUSE FOR TEN WHOLE SECONDS. Ruins the peace I had before.

What are your feelings on canned laughter

I'm not sure I've heard music that has applauses between tracks
Maybe if it's from a live recording

This is actually called the "Shower Curtain Effect" in physics. They have a few hypotheses for why this happens, but no one truly knows why. One of the great mysteries of the world!

Yes, it's from live concerts. They usually cut some of the applause, in some cases it goes on and on.

Yeah they know what causes it. The running water creates a vacuum, a low pressure area, into which the curtain is drawn. You can keep it from happening to some extent by putting magnets on the bottom of the curtain that help hold it to the tub.

Erm, that would be the horizontal vortex hypothesis.

...I just realized we might have had that issue with some older curtains
Current one doesn't stick (excluding when it's freshly laundered and super static-y)
No magnets, it just sticks to the bathtub when wet

It is a live recording, yes.
